Visiting
Scholar
David
Hartzband , Sc.D., has worked for two-plus decades on exploring
and integrating emerging technologies into new and existing
product streams. He has developed advanced database and
metadata technologies, including knowledge base, similarity-based
reasoning systems and model and ontology-based systems.
He has also developed products in the distributed middleware,
content management and collaboration areas, as well as developing
architectures for very large-scale data and information
management systems. He has done considerable consulting
on use of emerging technologies in conventional products
and product strategies and has also consulted on both business
and technology strategy for early stage and established
companies.
Dr.
Hartzband has worked at such companies as EMC, Documentum,
eRoom Technology, Agile Software, General Motors, Boeing
(Commercial Airplane Company) and the Digital Equipment
Corporation, where he was Chief Scientist for Artificial
Intelligence and Database Architect for the corporation.
He has previously held faculty positions at Stanford University
(Computer Science Division), The College of William and
Mary (Mathematics and Marine Science) and was last a Visiting
Scholar at MIT in the Leaders for Manufacturing Program
(now called Leaders for Global Operations) in 1991-92.
Dr.
Hartzband’s research has been focused on the co-evolution
of organizations and technology in engineering companies
and the technology that those organizations develop, adopt
and use. More recently, he has been working on issues in
healthcare information technology (HIT), and has developed
architectures for large scale information sharing among
healthcare organizations. He is currently writing a column
on HIT for Health Center Forum, the magazine of the National
Association for Community Health Centers and is also writing
a monthly column on HIT for the website of the RCHN Community
Health Foundation. Most recently he has been investigating
the relationship of GDP-based productivity in ambulatory
healthcare to technology adoption and clinical outcomes
in those organizations.
